I have added our example project that might help you: UniStream_070_Message_Composer_Example.ulpr

[Unistream Trend & Data Sampling]

The Sample file should be saved in the folder name you set, in my case "MySample".

A file will be saved to the SD once the sample count will reach 60,000 samples or if you will stop sampling using the "Start/End Sampling".

"Start/End Sampling" can be set to power up value `1`.

Hi  Vamalgise,

In "SMS Send" function block, you can select "Last Received Phone Number" to sand back an SMS to the last  sender phone number. 

[Sending SMS thru API]

In vision, there is a ladder element that resolves an IP for a domain.

In UniLogic there is also an element that resolves the IP Address  (element called Resolve DNS).

As I understand, the data is not JSON or XML, but rather the same old way as sending the data in the url.

[High Speed Counting & ML over EXRC1]

Hi Michael,

MI0 holds the real counter, it is using MI2 as a buffer that holds the difference between the real count to the counts that where added in ML0.

The count than is added to ML1 that is in absolute value, than MI0 is stored to MI2 for a new count that will hold the deference between the counts.

When MI0 will roll over it will not have any effect on ML1 (Virtual counter) sign.

 

the formula for this project is:

MI0 - MI2 = ML0

ML0 + |ML1| = ML1

MI0 = MI2 

 

Please see the attached project.

Is NET3 you can trigger MB0 to simulate running counter, you will see that MI0(out) will roll over at 32767 (you can use MB1 to increment by one), the result ML1 (Virtual Counter) will not change it`s sign.

[EX-RC1]

EX-RC1 is a remote I/O module that communicates between Vision PLC`s through UniCan protocol.

UniCan is a propetary protocol of Unitronics that runs under CANBus.

To transfer data to/from the PLC and the EX-RC1 you need to write a small logic to send the data with a vector.

Attached an example for the PLC and EX-RC1.
